Buy Escitalopram Online without prescription
Escitalopram is an antidepressant medication belonging to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is FDA-approved to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Major depression is one of the most common mental health disorders in the United States, with an estimated 21 million adults in the United States experiencing at least one major depressive episode, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Escitalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural chemical in the brain that may be involved in depression and anxiety symptoms.
Escitalopram is sometimes prescribed off label for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). In some cases, it may be used for the management of menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats.
Expert tip: “SSRIs like escitalopram can take up to several weeks to start working fully,” notes Dr. Sison. “Keep this in mind if you’re not experiencing complete relief from symptoms right away and avoid stopping the treatment without consulting a healthcare provider.”
